2-room Suite With Private Entrance In Quiet Neighborhood Near Downtown

A creative alternative for the independent traveler.

Two room suite with private entrance and lake views, located in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for downtown and waterfront excursions on foot, by bike, or by car.

Though listed as an apartment, this accommodation is a two room suite located in-house on the second floor of One of a Kind B+B.

The suite is the only rented space in-house.

The bedroom has one queen-size bed, the separate sitting room has a pantry with a mini-frig, electric drip and french press coffee makers, and an electric water kettle. The pantry is stocked with the local and/or organic breakfast foods so you can take breakfast at your leisure. Please let us know if you have special dietary needs when you make your reservation. There are no cooking facilities in the suite.

The bath has a shower/tub fusion.

Breezes from the lake and shade from the large maple tree keep our air moving and fresh with no need for air-conditioning.

A separate entrance allows you privacy to come and go as you please.

There is an additional 11% City of Burlington and VT tax. The cleaning fee is included. We are inspected and licensed by the Vermont Department of Health. Single night and off-season rates available upon request.

Enjoy the views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains from the windows in the suite and from the garden, where you will find seating and a tree swing!

The Neighborhood:

• Amazing view of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains — A great place to watch Burlington's 3rd of July fireworks!

• Close proximity to UVM and Champlain College, shopping, dining, and Downtown Burlington.

• A great home base for your Brew Tour!

• Easy walk or bike to Downtown, the Bike Path and the Waterfront.

• Enjoyable running and walking routes mapped out from the house for easy navigation.

Notes:

Bring your personal technology because we don't have television - but we do have free high-speed wi-fi …or leave your personal technology at home and bring that book you've been meaning to read!

Massage packages at a local studio or in your room can be arranged. Laundry service is available for an additional charge.

Our air is conditioned, naturally, with windows that open and lake breezes to cool you in the summer.

Peaceful and beautiful

What a charming find in Burlington. We very much enjoyed our stay in the suite and Maggie's lovely lakeside garden. This is in pretty much a perfect location--far enough from the action to enjoy plenty of peace and quiet, but still close by for almost everything in Burlington to be within easy walking distance. Thanks so much!

Owner's Response: Thank you for your observations and appreciation of the suite and environs I have created. "peace and quiet" are your optimal words for me!

Superb view and location

As spectacular as the photos are for this property, it was even more breathtaking upon awakening and looking out on the early-morning crispness of the lake with the mountains beyond. I couldn't wait to head down to the multi-use trail along the waterfront for a walk, a short distance from the B&B. In one direction is North Beach, an intimate stretch of sandy beach, and in the other direction you'll find large sculptures carved from white chunks of marble, with more boat harbors and the Adirondack Mtns. always in view. The beautifully landscaped garden in the backyard of the B&B was perfect for taking in the delicious view, watching the boats come and go from the Burlington harbor. Maggie is the ideal hostess, providing healthy goodies for breakfast -- granola, yogurt, including local fruits in season, plus fresh coffee beans or tea -- and she supplied 1% milk for me upon my request. She even surprised me with a chocolate bar in the bin with my clean dishes! Although there is no microwave, the refrigerator works fine for casual snacking. The location is ideal, close to downtown with all manner of eateries and art neighborhoods. I highly suggest watching the sunset from the garden. If you're as lucky as I was, you'll see the green dot just after the sun dips below the Adirondacks. The charm of this historic Victorian adds to the experience. I have found my home-away-from-home for all future Vermont trips!
